#san japan announcement

[vintage-every-day]

15 August 1945: Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles and Marlene Dietrich enjoying coffee at KFWB, a Los Angeles radio station, after announcing the news of Japan’s surrender.

The San Fernando Valley Times reported:

“KFWB had the most “glamorous” copy-girls in the nation during last Monday’s all-night alert caused by word of Japan’s surrender. Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth, who came to the studio with Orson Welles early Monday evening stayed all night, watching the teletypes and rushing bulletins to the microphone, where Welles did a “marathon” commentary lasting most of the night.”

boyfriend!iwaizumi when you’re a famous idol.

iwaizumi hajime x fem!reader.

genre: fluff.

warnings: bad english/grammar :p /mention of the kpop industry (in here, dating someone is less taboo than it is in real life) / first work so it’s not that good.

_

after high school, you left japan for south korea, you always had this dream of becoming a kpop idol. during your time in seijoh, you were already known for being an amazing dancer but also for your angelic voice.

iwaizumi would always brag about you to the volleyball team, oikawa would tease him about you leaving him for a famous korean actor, after you became famous. to which, iwaizumi would respond with a kick in his friend’s back. truth be told, he was actually very scared of what the future had in store for you two after high school. he didn’t know if long distance would work for you, or if you even wanted it in the first place.

during your last school day, iwaizumi walked you back home, like he always did, but he seemed out of it and almost, sad? you asked him what was wrong and he told you that if you wanted to break up with him to focus on your dreams, he’d respect your decision and always support you. he couldn’t even look at you, tears starting to form in the corner of his eyes as he tried his best to keep a straight face. his words surprised you and broke your heart because you never knew that iwaizumi could be so dumb to think that you’d break up with him like that. "no matter the distance, it will never make me forget about how much i love you, hajime."

so you left for south korea and he left for america to study. you two called each other everyday, when you two were too busy, you’d try to call at least twice a week. iwaizumi was busy with school and finals took all his time while your trainee program took up yours. but somehow you two made it work. a few years later, you debuted as a soloist and sold millions with your first album whilst iwaizumi came back to japan after graduating, and became an athletic trainer for japan national volleyball team. you couldn’t be prouder of him, and you were his pride. he streamed all your songs, putting them on speaker while the boys would practice, he brought all your albums and watched the variety shows you were featured in. he was basically the president of your fanclub. and he wasn’t ashamed of it.

you two always made sure to go together on vacation in a foreign country, where kpop wasn’t really the thing. the distance actually strengthened your relationship since being apart of each other for so long, made the reunion better. you knew iwaizumi was it for you, and he was also your muse for your music. your fans often joked about how inspired and how deep your love songs were. it made you laugh to read all their theories about you being married to a farmer. if only they knew…

iwaizumi never minded being your secret boyfriend, he actually liked it that way. he didn’t know if he could bare being in the public eye every time. knowing that you were south korea’s sweetheart, being your public boyfriend would mean saying goodbye to his peaceful life, and iwaizumi wasn’t ready for that. well, he wasn’t ready yet. one day, he woke up to his phone being blown up by messages, actually tons of messages, from the groupchat he shared with the japan national team. he even had missed calls from oikawa, and all his close friends.

shoyo: IWAIZUMI-SENPAIIIIII

SID YOU SEE HHE NEWS???

kageyama: learn how to spell, idiot.

ushijima: blowing up his phone isn’t the best way to announce something like that.

bokuto: HAJI-SAN IT’S TERRIBLE ARE YOU OKAY??

atsumu: JUST SHUT UP

let the man wake up peacefully damn

shoyo: IT WAS TO BE A FAKE NEWS RIGHT??

bokuto: YEAH L/N-SAN WOULD NEVER DO THAT

iwaizumi: what the fuck?

ushijima: you should check twitter, hajime.

iwaizumi had frowned, but went on twitter, an app you forced him to subscribe to. apparently it was the genz’s newspaper. to his surprise, your face was all over his feed, it wasn’t surprising because he liked everything about you, followed dozens of fan account and basically became a fan account himself. but what surprised him was seeing those big account talking about your "relationship" with a famous korean actor.

"l/n y/n, the famous soloist who stole everyone’s heart with her heartfelt songs and beautiful looks, is dating a/l a/n!"

his eyes widened as he typed your name to call you immediately. his heart was beating so fast as he didn’t know how to feel about this. of course it was fake news, right? he knew you’d never cheat on him, you loved each other and iwaizumi couldn’t see his life without you in it. he quickly became aware of how much he loved you and how important you were in his life. without you, iwaizumi would be nothing but an empty shell. "hajime? thank god, i tried to call you!" your voice made him release a breath he didn’t know he was holding. "you saw, right?" your voice was small and for a second he thought that maybe you called him to announce your new relationship with this dumbass actor. "yeah, it’s not that fun to wakeup to your friends blowing up your phone and news outlets talking about your girlfriend’s relationship with that fucker." he rubbed his face with his free hand. "these idiots took pictures of us while we were in cabo and thought it was a/n. apparently you two look alike." he heard you chuckle which made him feel warm inside. he hated the fact that he doubted you for a second. suddenly, an idea popped up in his head, a crazy one but still. "you have an award show in a week right?" he asked you, a smile tugging at his lips. "yeah, why?"

well, iwaizumi’s idea was indeed crazy but you didn’t care, you were down for it. and as your name got called in the category, "best female artist", iwaizumi was next to you, he stood up before you could even understand what was going on, and he kissed you. showing to the world, that you were his as much as he was yours. it was a crazy way to launch your relationship to the world, but you didn’t care, because as long as you were together, nothing could happen.

CHAPTER 10: Life’s unfair

“Yasumi? Yeah we have been seeing each other for more than a year now. ”

He wasn’t answering. He was announcing it. The words came out almost immediately, pouring out like hot lava on a winter day that was surrounded by snow.

The words hit like a baseball ball against her head, it felt like the world had stopped. Those abrasive words to a question which only hid pure intentions clearly had more effect to it than needed. What was supposed to be a simple question to spark gossip ended up showing to be more serious than intended for Y/N. Even though the past has left open wounds, does it mean that it never happened? The scars were still fresh, only a few tensions away from tearing open again. Was all that ever happened just a non existent memory to him?

Rin across the stage from the press conference thought he was hearing bullshit, his already terrible mood becoming worse, it was just a pure joke at this point. Even though he wasn’t the one in the relationship at the time, he was viewing it with front row tickets. These words seemed to hold so much weight but no one else knew that, to them.. It was just another arrogant remark by Itoshi Sae that told about his relationship status. Japan’s Treasure. 

She stood in there like a tree. Her eyes widened, even Aiku was a little shocked by the stern statement Sae had made. His eyes switched between Sae who was on the platform over to Y/N who stood in the crowd of bystanders.

Whilst one felt torn apart, while another thought it was complete nonsense. The conference ended with a few more questions asked about other aspects like, the actual game and some TMIs. 

The two teams started to leave the stadium, two straight lines, just like when they were entering the field. The wide hallway had a grey ceiling, black walls. Large windows that showed one side of the field.   

Koyuki and her mother were praising him, while Isagi’s and Bachira’s parents were talking to them. Rin was trailing behind at the back. Behind him was the U-20. 

Y/N walked straight. Straight to Rin. A bouquet in hand which was decorated in handmade bows, paired with a tone of voice that sounded so candied. A voice that was supposed to be filled with happiness and vigor. 

“Congrats Rin. I knew you could win.”

Rin didn’t want to look at Y/N, not because of his own loss that he felt, the look of loss she probably had on her own face. He slowly reached out his hands, before the flowers were abruptly shoved into his hands. This received a thrown look from him, he looked up.

What greeted him was an ice cold face. A smile that seemed to have a slight strain in it. Eyes that looked dry. Dry and tired. The heavy breathing that she exhibited the storm that was brewing inside her. 

“Nee-san.” 

She started walking. Slowly walking to her next destination. The one who  was grazing out at the field through the window. 

‘Even now.. I’m not what's catching your eye.’ 

Aiku noticed the figure that came toward them. He knew something was wrong. He wanted to stop it. Even though they weren’t close, it still hurt him to see her almost falling apart. Her eyes dark, staring at the statue that still didn’t realise her incoming presence. 

“Y/N-chan! How ya doing?” 

‘Y/N?’ 

A sharp slap cut that thought short. Sae’s eyes widened, a few strands of his bangs falling on his eyes. A silver bracelet fell to the ground. His iris searched to see what hit him. 

In front him stood a silhouette wearing a winter jacket which had one hand tugging at the fabric which covered her heart. A few inches above that action displayed the face of disappointment, anger, frustration and shock. 

A face that had tears running down. Each sobbed accompanied by the heavy heaving of her chest. Her expression had turned choked by emotions. Aiku reached his hand out, but dropped it. It wasn’t his place to comfort her.

No one around the scene made a sound. It was like time had stopped. 

“I hate you.” 

I thought of the name Yasumi becuz I was listening to Matsuri by Fuji kaze while writing this.. CHP 11 BE THE END OF PART 1 THANK YOU FOR READING <3

❥𓂃𓏧BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

ꕥ𓂃𓏧 (SYNOPSIS): Wooyung decides to surprise you on your birthday...twice!

ꕥ𓂃𓏧 (PAIRING): Idol!Wooyoung x gn!reader

ꕥ𓂃𓏧 (GENRE AND AU/TROPE): fluff. established relationship. a sprinkle of angst. sfw.

ꕥ𓂃𓏧 (WARNINGS): just lots and lots of fluff. wooyoung is whipped for you.

ꕥ𓂃𓏧 (WORD COUNT): 1.4k

ꕥ𓂃𓏧 (A/N): HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINNIE @nebulousbrainsoup!! I hope you have the most amazing day ahead!! <3 I'm honeslty super super thankful to have met you, and it honestly makes me go 👁👄👁 when I look back at how far we've come in the last year (from being moots to being friends and you becoming a super important person to me). I love you so much and I hope you enjoy reading this lil wooyo floof!!

“Hi, love,” Wooyoung’s voice greets you warmly as the video call connects. In the background, the bustling activity of the other ATEEZ members winding down after their schedules in Japan is evident.

“Hi, Woo!” you reply, mustering a sleepy smile. You’d been woken by the vibrating of your phone and were about to turn it off when you realised who was calling you.

Upon hearing your voice, the ATEEZ members divert their attention to Wooyoung’s phone, their faces breaking into wide smiles upon recognizing who he was talking to.

“Look who’s here!” San exclaims excitedly, leaping over a couch to join Wooyoung. “Happy birthday!”

His cheerful words are echoed by the rest of the members, prompting Wooyoung to playfully complain about being beaten to the punch in wishing you.

“You should’ve wished them at midnight like I did,” Yeosang teases his friend, while Seonghwa smoothly intercepts the phone from him. “Happy birthday! Did this troublemaker wake you up? It’s probably super early where you are.” He frowns, trying to mentally calculate what time it is for you. “You’re like… more than half a day behind us, aren’t you?”

You grin at Seonghwa’s remark. “It’s all good; I needed to be up early anyway.”

“Why’s that? Isn’t it the weekend?” Yunho interjects, leaning in next to Seonghwa so that his face is visible to you.

“Your exams are done, so you can sleep in today! It’s your birthday after all,” Mingi adds, appearing on Seonghwa’s other side.

“I’m going out with friends for the day,” you explain.

“GIMME MY PHONE!!!” Wooyoung’s voice echoes through the screen, causing the other boys to flinch at the volume; you can also hear Hongjoong admonishing him to lower his voice. After a flurry of movement, Wooyoung reappears on the screen, having left the room. “Sorry about that. So, what else are you gonna do today?”

“I’m not sure honestly, my friends have a lot planned today, so I’m probably going to be with them for the rest of the day.”

“I wish I were there,” he sighs wistfully. Finding a table to perch on, Wooyoung hops onto it, yelping when it wobbles. You shake your head at his antics, cautioning him to be careful.

“I’m sorry I can’t be there for your birthday, love,�� Wooyoung’s voice carries a hint of melancholy.

“It’s okay, honestly. I wasn’t there for your birthday either. Even though I tried to get a couple of days off from uni to go see you in Seoul,” you reply, offering him a reassuring smile. “When you come back here in a few weeks, we can go out and celebrate both our birthdays. Or stay in to do that. I wouldn’t mind either.”

“Let’s do that.”

Just then, the doorbell rings, and you frown in confusion; you aren’t been expecting anyone this early. Your friends had told you to be ready by 10, which is almost 4 hours away. Making small talk with Wooyoung, you head to the door to see who’s at the door.

“There’s a delivery for you,” the man at the door announces, presenting you with a beautiful bouquet of red geraniums, pink ranunculus, and white gardenias. Along with it, he hands you a small box from your favorite bakery.

Taking the gifts inside, you eagerly look through the bouquet for a card, your eyes lighting up with joy when you find one. Lost in the moment, you momentarily forget about Wooyoung, unaware of the silence that had fallen over the call.

My dearest,

Happy Birthday! Words fail to express just how thankful I am for your existence. I’m sorry that I can’t celebrate your day with you in person today, but I hope this small gesture can bring you even a fraction of the joy you bring into my life.

With this bouquet, I wanted to convey the depths of my love and admiration for you. Each day, I am profoundly grateful that fate brought us together, even if it began with the clumsy spill of coffee on your favorite white hoodie (my sincerest apologies for that).  I wouldn’t change it for the world because it gave me the greatest gift of my life: you.

Please enjoy your day to the fullest and celebrate yourself! I hope you can feel the love I’m sending from across the ocean.

Yours, always,

Wooyoung

P.S. I’ve also included assorted cupcakes from your beloved bakery!

Unbeknownst to you, tears well up in your eyes and a single droplet cascades down your cheek, landing softly on the card. Startled, you brushed the tear away, your gaze shifting to Wooyoung’s face on your phone screen.

“I love you,” you manage to say, too choked up to say anything else.

A warm smile spreads across Wooyoung’s face. “I love you too, tears and all.”

“You’re so unserious,” you teased, mustering a laugh despite the tears. “But thank you for this. It truly made my day.”

“Now, what are you waiting for?” Wooyoung’s playful tone fills the air once more. “Light a candle on that cupcake so I can serenade you with the best performance of ‘Happy Birthday’ that you’ve ever heard.”

A sudden clatter startles you awake, pulling you from the depths of slumber. Rubbing the sleep from your eyes, you wonder about the source of the noise, your mind still foggy with sleep. A muttered curse sends a jolt of apprehension through you – you are supposed to be alone. Quietly, you slip out of bed, reaching for your pepper spray and phone, prepared for the worst.

To your surprise, the intruder in the kitchen isn’t a stranger. Instead, you find a familiar black-haired figure rummaging through the refrigerator.

“Wooyoung?” you call out, lowering your defenses as you recognized the figure.

Caught off guard by your presence, Wooyoung jumps at the sound of your voice, accidentally bumping his head in the process.

“Ouch, love, why did you have to scare me like that?” Wooyoung pouts, massaging the back of his head as he turns to face you. His expression shifts from playful to apprehensive as he registers your presence.

“Well?” you prod, curious about his unexpected appearance in your kitchen considering he’s supposed to be in Japan and not in your kitchen. “What are you doing?”

“I was attempting to whip up some pancakes, but I seem to have botched it,” he confesses sheepishly, presenting the thin batter that fails to resemble pancake mix. “I may have gone overboard with the milk, and it appears we’re fresh out of pancake mix…”

“I do have more in the pantry, actually,” you chuckle at his bashful smile, handing him the unopened box. “What brings you here, though? Weren’t you supposed to return to Seoul later tomorrow?”

“I might have sweet-talked manager-nim into letting me come to see you earlier,” he confesses, pouring a cup of mix into the bowl and muttering a small ‘yay’ as it reaches the perfect consistency. “I couldn’t make it in time for your birthday, though. I had to take a connecting flight from LA, and then the drive was kinda long...”

“I’m not complaining. Now that you’re here, I’m not planning on letting you go,” you tease, wrapping your arms around his waist and burying your face into the warmth of his neck from behind.

“That doesn’t sound too bad, honestly,” he says with a smile, turning around in your embrace and gently rubbing his nose against your cheek before placing a tender kiss there. Unable to resist any longer, he leans in and plants a playful kiss on your lips. You can’t help but giggle as Wooyoung lifts you onto the counter, his hand tracing over your thighs.

“I missed you so much,” he murmurs against your lips, playfully nipping at them. Then, with a teasing flick of his tongue over your bottom lip, he pulls away and gestures toward the dining table. “Go sit down, or I’ll never finish breakfast.”

“Hey, it’s not my fault you can’t resist me,” you tease, playfully dodging when he attempts to catch you.

“The pancake is burning, you goof. Go rescue it,” you point toward the kitchen, hoping he’d heed your words.

Wooyoung shoots you a playful glare, torn between saving the pancake and indulging in a tickle fight. Duty wins over mischief, and you breathe a sigh of relief as he hurries off.

“I hope you know that I’m not letting this go so easily,” he calls back with a mischievous grin.

JEANNE  was  born  in  nice,  france  and  is  an  only  child  in  the  lee  family;  however,  it  never  felt  that  way.  it  seemed  like  she  was  consistently  surrounded  by  her  cousins  and  grandma,  whom  she  never  liked.  whenever  her  parents  were  too  busy  with  work,  they  left  her  in  the  arms  of  her  spiteful  grandmother.  jeanne  grew  up  to  be  a  peculiar  child,  antisocial  and  locked  up  in  her  room  most  days.  she  was  taught  to  keep  everything  to  herself,  be  quiet,  and  listen  to  what  her  elders  say.  it  was  hell  for  her  until  she  went  on  a  holiday  to  south  korea,  wanting  to  learn  more  about  the  country  where  her  family  came  from.  her  reason  for  applying  for  the company  has  always  been  that  she  had  nothing  to  lose;  therefore,  she  did  it  only  because  it  looked  interesting  at  that  moment.  but  somewhere  deep  inside  her,  she  just  wanted  a  reason  to  escape  her  extended  family.  jeanne  never  expected  to  be  accepted  in  the  company,  let  alone  debut  in  STUPID  CUPID  ( now DREAME ) three  years  later  as  their  MAIN  RAPPER  and  LEAD  DANCER.  not  too  long  after  the  group’s  official  debut,  jeanne  got  involved  in  a  scandal  where  people  complained  about  her  straightforward  personality  and  emotionless  expressions  that  creeped  out  some  people.  their  main  argument  was  that  she  should  be  smiling  and  having  fun  in  front  of  the  cameras  and  not  be  a  broody  teenager.  the  scandal  followed  her  for  months,  and  it  is  still  being  mentioned  once  in  a  while.  although  jeanne  has  said  multiple  times  that  she’s  working  on  her  personality,  she  can  never  escape  her  thoughts  behind  the  scenes.

Today in Japan the last OVA for the movie Given is released on DVD, which was released in its homeland in August last year)) and after being shown in cinemas, it was finally released to the public. All that's left is to wait for the film to appear online with English subtitles🤔

It also happened that the Kizu-san announced a few days ago that she had written the last chapter for the manga, which... Well, in fact, the official story is finished, and then short direct continuations of the plot were printed. It's sad that if it's true... I'm used to manga being published for 20 years and will be published for about the same amount of time in the future xD However, on the other hand, you need to be able to stop so that the story doesn't flow into an endless conveyor... As I understand it, an anime will also be filmed based on these additions-sequels, but that's not certain🤔😆

A few days ago, fans of "Black Butler" complained under the trailer for the new film adaptation that almost all a lot of spoilers were shown in a minute-long videoxD I agree!😆 The gaming industry uses the same technique. And watching the Given trailers, although I read the manga and know what will happen there, even they seemed spoiler-y to me.

If Fuyu no hanashi had been spoiled like that, I wouldn't have forgiven it!xD

New Chapter Update! @naoyagasm @janeaugustine @teonawrites @periwinkless-universe @rosemaydone321 @may-machin

CHAPTER- 4

Time froze as the icy chilling wind carried the tension raising it― swirling it around you and Sukuna devilishly wanting to see more. The reflecting still water beneath the bridge― quietly came forth― to freeze this moment, forever in its frozen waters― a frame forever lost in time

"Wh...what?" your voice trembled― eyes widened― the shock stunning you

"Are you deaf?" grabbing your wrist― pulling you close, the Wagasa slipped from your grasp― dropping to the cold ground.

His eyes bore into yours― voice calm and deep

"I said—" he leaned in, lips barely apart― sharing a breath, "If I am greedy for you— will I be able to go as far as I want?" his gaze unwavering, "Y/n?"

Like a spark, a fire had been ignited in your heart― it burned away all the ice in your veins, unlocking your soul. Blood rushed to your face as you pushed him away flustered.

But he held your wrist tighter, making you face him, forcing you to look into his blood-red-eyes

"Look at me, and tell me Y/n", he demanded, "I need an answer"

"I don't play games darling", with a smirk he chuckled

"I―", lowering your lashes as you looked away flustered

"I cannot give you an answer right now, I apologize― for I― still…have things left to do", saying these words you turned around and ran, you ran as fast as your feet allow you to― your heart slamming against your chest

He stood there as he watched your silhouette vanish with a dangerous grin― as an ominous smile tugged his lips

You ran and ran as fast as you could, bumping past all kinds of people as you entered your room and slammed the door shut― leaning against the wall and letting out a huff as your body tried to relax

The room has always felt suffocating, the last comforting place― you have been in this room since the time Oka-san announced― that it was yours when you became a Geisha.

Having met countless men, and gotten many confessions, and words of love― you were used to rejecting them without thinking twice― but none ever made you feel the way you felt today

"Oh my god…I almost said yes", you sat still not recovered from yesterday's incident, curling up to your knees and burying your face

"I cannot… after all…", your eyes emotionless staring at the tatami mat― the air heavy with your gloom― as shadows reflected from your heart to your soul

"I need to finish what I have started"

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Some days had passed, and your usual routine played. Changed into your night clothes― you sat trembling― as beads of sweat glistened down your skin― and fear reverberated in the air

"I have given you time long enough, either you tell me— or I make that mouth of yours talk", a dominating voice boomed, dripping with malice

"S-Sukuna…why…why are you after me?", you gulp trying not to scream as everyone is asleep

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes…I do", raising your head you looked him in the eyes― fearful of what was to come

With a snap of his fingers― all the candles extinguished as an ominous feeling tugged at your heart― in an impulse you crawled close to him

It was the right choice as the moment you did, curses beyond what your eyes could see, appeared throughout the room. Crawling from the floors to the walls, hiding in every nook and cranny— with heart wrenching screams echoing throughout the room.

"This is why", he chuckled pulling you close by the waist

"To have so many curses latch onto you, of so many types", he raised your chin, gazing into your eyes

"Makes even me, The King of Curses wonder what is your story y/n?"

Terrified of what you saw, you clasped his hands tightly afraid

"All…all of these? They…are connected to me?", your throat felt dry― stomach churned with anxiety and you felt nauseous

"Curses are born from negative feelings and emotions, To have so many, how much do you bury in your heart Y/n? It is a grave of your cursed feelings, you cursed yourself", he chuckled, and with a raise of his hand― they were all diced, slaughtered into pieces― contrary to dying surprisingly they regenerated.

"Shall I help you, get rid of the curse in your heart Y/n? Forever breaking the chains tying you"

Second Annual ‘Marvelous Game Showcase’ Delivers Exciting Updates on Fan-favorite STORY OF SEASONS and Rune Factory Series; Reveals NARUTO: Arcade Battle for

North America, and More

New Looks for Additional Titles in Development Include Opening Animation for

Monster Farming / Action Title Farmagia and Striking New Teaser for DAEMON X MACHINA: Titanic Scion

TORRANCE, Calif., — May 30, 2024 — Marvelous USA, Inc. and XSEED Games today shared a localized version of parent company Marvelous Inc.’s second annual ‘Marvelous Game Showcase,’ which debuted today at 3:00pm PT. President Suminobu Sato hosted the showcase and was joined by key members of development teams to provide updates on titles announced in last year's event, and announce new regional and global initiatives for the Marvelous family of companies.

Farmagia (formerly Project Magia): Product Manager Takehiro Ishida revealed the official title of the project, Farmagia, and presented the game’s opening animation, giving gamers an action-packed look at the cast of characters and powers they wield. Ishida-san also shared details on key characters in the game, designed by popular artist Hiro Mashima, including Ten, the protagonist who often acts before thinking; Arche, his childhood friend who balances both kindness and a competitive nature; Chica, another childhood friend with a more reserved demeanor; and Lookie-Loo, Ten’s sidekick and de-facto mascot. The title is planned for a global release in 2024.

STORY OF SEASONS: The next, as-yet-untitled entry in the beloved franchise continues its development as the team focuses on improvements to the visual presentation and natural environments. Series Manager Hikaru Nakano joined to debut a fresh look at the results of their efforts, highlighting how aspects such as updated natural lighting and festival fireworks have been improved to enhance immersion and atmosphere. The project remains in active development and will be fully revealed at a later date. In the meantime, Nakano-san confirmed new gameplay features including a player-controlled glider and the return of fan-favorite pets.

Amusement Section: Marvelous Inc. supports more than just PC and console entertainment and announced a number of new arcade initiatives including NARUTO: Arcade Battle, which will be available in North America this summer. Players will experience the world of NARUTO on a massive 50” screen, where they’ll engage in intense ninjutsu battles and collect plates to reach the highest rank they can! Arcade titles for Japan release only were also presented.

Indie Partner Lineup: The Marvelous family continues to invest in helping creative and exciting visions from smaller indie developers become a reality with global support for titles! Titles introduced for worldwide release include Bitsummit 2023 Grand Prize winner Death the Guitar, where players become an electric guitar fighting with the power of death metal to avenge their owner, planned for a 2025 release; and Moonlight Peaks, the supernatural-themed vampire farming/life sim title from Dutch developer Little Chicken, scheduled for 2026 release. One additional title, Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, was also presented for release in Asia and Japan by Marvelous on July 28, 2024.

Rune Factory: Following a brief history on the evolution of the Rune Factory series and how it has grown across nine titles released over 18 years, Rune Factory series Director Shiro Maekawa joined the stream to reveal a new video for Rune Factory: PROJECT DRAGON sharing a look at the title’s protagonists. Players can choose to play as either Subaru or Kaguya, two new Earthmates with a twist; they will use the power of dance, rather than farming, to communicate and interact with the world around them. This new approach to interacting with the world comes with non-combat tools, including parasols and drums; series staple weapons like swords; and brand-new weapon types to experiment with, including bows and talismans.

DAEMON X MACHINA: Titanic Scion: First revealed during last year’s Marvelous Game Showcase, DAEMON X MACHINA: Titanic Scion once again closed out the show, where President Sato-san shared an evocative look at Marvelous’ First Studio’s mech-action sequel.  Additional details including platforms and a release window will be announced at a later date.

Ocean announcement:

The white-spotted pufferfish, also known as the Torquigener albomaculosus, is located in the waters around the Ryukyu Islands in Japan, and are known for their quite strange mating rituals in which they draw patterns (typically more symmetrical, round shapes) into the ocean sand. These are usually quite large, and are created with the intent to attract a female puffer fish to reproduce. However, the puffer fish's "puffer-attraction" is not based on (or not shown to be extremely relevant) size or complexity of the shape, for interest in a male. Rather, it is the maintaining of these patterns and circles that give the "bow chika bow bow" to the female. This is definitely the reason why Sans Undertale has been drawn in the sand behind our base for the last 3 weeks.

15 August 1945: Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles and Marlene Dietrich enjoying coffee at KFWB, a Los Angeles radio station, after announcing the news of Japan’s surrender.

The San Fernando Valley Times reported: “KFWB had the most “glamorous” copy-girls in the nation during last Monday’s all-night alert caused by word of Japan’s surrender. Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth, who came to the studio with Orson Welles early Monday evening stayed all night, watching the teletypes and rushing bulletins to the microphone, where Welles did a “marathon” commentary lasting most of the night.”

[spiraphobia-scans]

Project Announcement - "N"

Yes, it’s just a single-letter title. Since I’m nearing the end of the first volume of Tonari No Jii-san, I decided to pick up another intriguing series. I always wonder - what is it about Japan and its creepy rural towns? And why am I so drawn to these kinds of stories? Heh.

The story is by Kurumu Akumu, with art by Niko to Game. I don’t want to give anything away by sharing the synopsis - you can go check it out yourself.

山萩[Yamahagi] Lespedeza bicolor

The leaves of Hagi also turn color, to yellow. The reddish coloring of leaves is called 紅葉[Kōyō] and the yellowish coloring is called 黄葉[Kōyō]. Since both are read the same, 黄葉 is often read as ōyō. These are also read as momiji.

By the way, today, November 7, 2024 is 立冬[Rittō](The first day of winter). And 木枯らし一号[Kogarashi ichi-gō](the first wintry blast) blew in the Tokyo region and the Kinki region.

The strong winds that blow in late autumn and early winter are called 木枯らし|凩[Kogarashi](lit. gale that scatters leaves from trees) and the Japan Meteorological Agency announces the first of those northerly wind of wind force five or higher that blew this year as 木枯らし一号[-ichi-gō](First). There is no such as 二号[Ni-gō](Second), 三号[San-gō](Third), etc. Their conditions vary slightly by region. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kogarashi_Monjirō

had yn ever encountered any sasaeng(s) / bad encounter with a atiny during a fan event ?

ooooooo yeah, you have def had a few share of sasaeng / bad atiny encounters over the last six years.

KHJCULT AKA JANET

one really infamous one is the sasaeng fansite account khjcult aka janet. she's probably one of the most known sasaengs in the atiny fandom especially when it comes to you. originally, she started out as a hongjoong fansite and has been following you all since pre-debut. her being a hongjoong fansite lasted all but for ateez's debut as she quickly started posting photos of you instead for "say my name" and "hala hala" era. it wasn't until around late 2019 to early 2020 when she started to become obsessive fan and following you and ateez to all your schedules, even when that weren't announced to fans.

you of course obviously started to recognize her the more she started showing up and it would freak you out; however, you didn't fully know how to deal with it. especially with ateez still being a new group and everything – you didn't want to cause problems. eventually, the guys would also pick up on how tense you would get when you would spot janet at events, and try their best to keep you away from her. you honestly felt sick every time you seen janet show up to a schedule.

hongjoong would even ask "fans" a few times to please respect your boundaries, but of course janet didn't take the hint (more like ignored it). unfortunately, you and janet did have an encounter around 2022 where she got into a fansign and had grabbed your wrist when you wouldn't answer her specific questions (personally ones that she doesn't need to know about) and it was after this that kq actually blacklisted her from events.

following this, however, janet started rumors about you. feeling "betrayed" by her favorite idol, she began spreading rumors that you were sleeping with several different members. the most notable one was yunho and pictures were also posted of you and yunho when you were in japan together at a restaurant. however, atiny didn't really believe her in this and you and kq even filed a lawsuit for defamation as she was trying to ruin your career and image. you won 💕

OTHER BAD ENCOUNTERS

some other bad encounters was when an atiny literally threw your drink in your face at the fansign following the announcement of you and san dating. claiming you "stole san from her" and the fan was quickly escorted out of the building.

another sasaeng even tried to drag you off stage at a festival, thankfully, wooyoung noticed just as the guy was trying to drag you off stage and had grabbed ahold of you and didn't let go even when your managers and event staff had come and almost tackled to the guy. fans noted how they had never seen wooyoung as mad before as in that moment.

an incident similar to the 2022 janet encounter, this sasaeng had been popping up at a lot of different events to where the guys were beginning to recognize him even. he showed up to a fansign and kind of brushed the guys off when they were signing his album – his questions mainly revolving around you and it was starting to lowkey piss some of them off with how invasive they were. like he even tried to ask yeosang what positions you slept in?? true weirdo behavior.

and it only got worse when he got to you, asking questions that again, weren't his business. he was also very adamant on trying to take you out after the fansign, but you kept turning him down. eventually, he grabbed your wrist really tightly and repeatedly asked you to go out with him and that you "owed" him because of how much support he gave you. thankfully, when hongjoong (who was right next to you) noticed what was happening, he ripped you away from the guy who was the taken away. you were so shaken up about it that you had to take a small break before finishing the fansign.

the guys have definitely gotten more protective over you since these incidents have happened and you've become a lot more cautious at events because of them.

those are just like the most notable moments. but you def have had several solo stans coming after you whenever you do anything that doesn't involve the guys. like when you made your acting debut, went to different fashion shows for fashion week, or voiced for a character in ffvii remake... your antis were throwing so much dirt at you. and then when it was announced for the world ep. fin that you would have a solo song... it was so bad that you cried about it for several nights until hongjoong finally went live and told people that if you can't support one member then you can't support them all. that shut most of them up. mainly the solo stans are just jealous of you because you obviously get to be with their fav and they don't.
